5 Worst Jersey Mistakes

In anticipation of the many typos and grammatical errors I expect to make in my entries on this blog, I thought I would submit my first entry to the Jersey Club as the 5 worst jersey mistakes to make it to a professional game (yes by mistakes I mean typos, not buying a regrettable jersey).

Starting it off at number 5. San Francicso

But let's give Majestic the benefit of the doubt.  The Giants weren't always in San Fancisco, they used to play in New York, oh that was back in 1957? When did this happen? April 2010?  Well 1 out of 25 players isn't bad.

4.  LA Angees!

3.  Nayv?

2. The Grate One.

And finally #1.

Maybe one day I will compile the best jersey typo this.  Until then, here's a sneak peak at one that will be in the top 5.
